YEAH, you've obviously never gone into AutoZone asking for Ford parts.is how the AutoZone guys respond if they know what the F150 parts are for, after you walk out the door.
EDIT: Just FYI, my local AutoZone guys (and gals) like me. Last time I was part shopping they let me go in the back and pick out my own parts since I was cross referencing some stuff.

I checked on the price of one of those tripower set ups a year ago... IIRC they wanted $5K for the whole thing. That's a lot of money to use more gas (for a car that wasn't meant to race anyway.)

You are right...not to go on a Delorean, as was implied.
Actually, I live in Ford country and with as much as I bill there a month they love me so I rarely have to do any cross referenceing....OMG I just remembered I went back there once and found a Ford (IIRC) coolant hose that would wrap around and go behind the compressor instead of rubbing everything in sight. But I didn't use it on my D. Really, I didn't! ...I gave it and some short pipes to Ben...you can ask him.

Coolant return hose xRef's to a mid 1980's E150 van, but you probably already knew that.

Then why do my modern cars not have a carb?
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

As this thread's title clearly indicates, it is the place for asking questions about installing a carburetor on your DeLorean.
If you have ignition questions, there is a different thread devoted exclusively to that topic.
If you have EFI questions, you can either start an EFI specific thread similar to this one, or perhaps use a existing thread like Mike Lund's failed conversion thread.
K-Jet questions can be asked in the General Forum since K-Jet is not a modification.
Asking questions in the appropriate threads helps keep the forum organized.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

As this thread title clearly states "other K-Jet/Carb tangets"
That's cool Bill, you're incapable of answering my question on your contradictory statement. Poor attempt at not answering it though.

With one exception (and a diesel powered school bus) every vehicle I own is carbureted, so I can not answer EFI questions from empirical experience. If you have an EFI question, I recommend posing it to someone with practical EFI experience. If you have a carburetor question, I would be happy to answer it.
Do you have a specific carbureted vehicle in mind that you wish to discuss?
